Chatterbowl: the talking dish for spoiled pets {Engadget}
Dec 14th 2006 1:29PM Grreeeat... how better to encourage codependent pets than to have the dish talk to them when they're using the food trough?
Where's the Talking Plate for Wayward Spouses? "Honey, you look great today!" and "This food is delicious! I *must* get the recipe!" as they put their snout to the trough.

T-Mobile Sidekick 3 gets official {Engadget}
Jun 21st 2006 12:24PM Computer mice went away from using balls for accuracy and because they require cleaning. Trackballs are worse, since you get all the perspiration and detritis from your hands. Danger got the bright idea to put a trackball on a phone?? So not only will the trackball "skip and jump" as the kids bring their SK3 into TGIF and get their trackballs greasy, it'll also require frequent "de-spooging"?
Crippled Bluetooth, use of a trackball, and slavish dedication to T-Mobile's whims all keep me from coming back. I had the original bwsk and csk, but I left the sidekick and T-Mobile for greener pastures. Nothing I've seen so far has me coming back.
$5,000 satellite "hurricane" phone for the paranoid {Engadget}
Jun 9th 2006 8:20AM I spent almost that much on a Starband dish and three satellite modems (over the years). I hope the Inmarsat dish works better than Starband does... worrying about co-pole/cross-pole, the slightest bit of misalignment causing you to lose signal, and the blazing 128K/s for $90/mo just added to the pain of the initial investment and trying to get a satellite tech out.
I wouldn't wish two-way satellite internet on my worst enemies. Dialup or morse code over a ham radio are better.
Plug and Play Ultrasound Probe {Engadget}
May 26th 2006 8:56AM Wow... the quality of comments shows how little engadget readers know about ultrasound wands, and how puerile they are. *all* ultrasound wands look like that, whether they're to a $3,700 USB device or to a $54,000 GE device. Given that it's bouncing high-frequency sound off your innards and basically performing radar imaging, there aren't too many other shapes it can take.
And it would probably amuse all the kids that the ultrasound wands are typically covered in alcohol-based jellies to improve conductivity and image resolution.
